Where should a bridal shower take place?

Traditionally, bridal showers take place in a host’s home or personal spaces. However, with the rise of destination weddings and other uniquely themed wedding celebrations—bridal showers can now take place anywhere!

Sometimes, they take place in the same area as your wedding festivities, which makes for:

1. A clearer theme;
2. A sure location; and
3. An orderly bridal shower, since everyone will be available during this period of time
   

What is the Itinerary for a Bridal Shower?

A bridal shower is not so different from every hangout you have with your girlfriends. The main difference is the bride being the star of the show—so naturally there will be wedding-themed games and opening of bridal gifts.

Just like any other party, throwing a bridal shower gives way for as much freedom and creativity as possible. Still, while there are no rules in throwing one, here are what every bridal shower must consist of:

• Food (either finger-food, brunch, or dinner meals)
• Cocktails and/or mocktails
• Wedding-themed games and/or trivia
• Gift-opening session

If you check these boxes, you’ve got yourself a complete bridal shower itinerary!

Bridal Shower Destinations in SEA & What to Do There

Bali, Indonesia (Beach & Spa Day)

Known as the land of the gods, Bali is definitely a top pick for bridal shower destinations in Southeast Asia. It is a place where sunshine, beaches, and luxury hotels await your girlfriends all-year round.

There are a number of things to do in Bali—most of which you might want to spend with your husband while on honeymoon instead—but it certainly has its tropical bridal party offerings.

Beachfront hotels, for example, always offer spa treatments for their guests. Book a weekend or day trip to Bali with your girls and enjoy facials, scrubs, massages, and pedicures with a beautiful view!

Rejuvenate with your girlfriends to Bali and come back changed for the better—full of sunshine, warmth, and excitement for your big day!

Koh Samui, Thailand (Yacht Party)

Another glamorous tropical bridal party pick is to have a yacht party among the islands of Thailand—a country known for its colorful party scene.

Bangkok and Phuket are undeniably great options for a bridal shower—but have you heard of Koh Samui? This underrated tropical gem can be the escape you and your bridal party need before your big day.

Known for its coconut groves, sandy white beaches, and biodiversity, Koh Samui is also home to many luxury experiences like yacht rentals and posh spas. Book a private island hopping tour for you and your girlfriends before you embark on your next big journey—marriage!

El Nido, Philippines (Island Hopping)

Want a beautiful but more laid back experience during your bridal shower? Drop the 5-star hotels, El Nido has the unspoiled beaches and preserved islands that you need!

Get in touch with the beauty of mother nature by going on an island hopping tour with your girlfriends in El Nido, Palawan! This is a picturesque tour in the Philippines that communicates “tropical getaway” better than any other location.

Its coral reefs, white-sand beaches, and memorable wooden boat tours are a must-have for paradise. As a bonus, your El Nido tours most likely include lunch, snack, and dinner meals cooked by your fishermen on your tour boat. Fresh food and an ambiance to live for? Honestly, what’s stopping you from getting married here too?

Singapore, Singapore (Champagne @ Gardens by the Bay)

Tropical doesn’t just always mean beach, and Singapore knows that. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the country has focused on highlighting their flora and fauna more than ever—and it worked, especially with the popularity of Gardens by the Bay.

While this is a space accessible to the public, there are ways you can enjoy a private evening with your bridal party. Book a Champagne event at Gardens by the Bay and celebrate with a private aerial view of the SG city skyline.

You and your girlfriends will also have the best seat in the house for The Garden Rhapsody light and sound show, exclusively scheduled for you. (Want more theatricality to your bridal shower? Gardens by the Bay also offers chauffeur-driven Garden Cruisers (ferries) as a means of getting to the venue.)

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Food crawls)

Just across Singapore is another golden experience for a bridal shower for you and your closest girlfriends: a Malaysian food crawl?

This is an uncommon approach to a girls’ day out, but if you have a bridal party full of foodies, this may be the choice for you.

Malaysia is a country known for its diversity, which makes its food scene all the more special. It has the best Chinese, Indian, Malay, and SEA dishes laid out for you all over the city. Take a trip around local markets, restaurants, and even street food stalls with your team and bask in the goodness life gives.

Tropical Bridal Showers are a way to escape, rejuvenate, and have fun!

Have you found the top tropical bridal shower location for you and your bridal party? It’s not always easy to cater to everyone’s needs, but if you have a set of friends that appreciate great views, fresh food, and beach luxury, these choices might be for them.

It is so important to keep the magic of weddings alive; and by hosting such bridal showers, you build all the magic you want to preserve in the beginning. This is a time of your life where you want to remember your bachelorette days, with the people who have stuck by you through it all—your girlfriends!
